If war be the progeny of evolution - and I am convinced that it is -
then evolution has "gone mad", reaching such a height of ferocity
as must frustrate its proper role in the world of life... There is no
way of getting rid of war save one, and that is to rid human
nature of the sanctions imposed on it by the law of evolution. 97

In Hitler's Personal Security, Peter Hoffmann discusses
Hitler's Darwinist views:
Hitler believed in struggle as the Darwinian principle of human
life that forced every people to try to dominate all others; without
struggle they would rot and perish. Even in his own defeat in
April 1945, Hitler expressed his faith in the survival of the
stronger and declared the Slavic peoples to have proven them-
selves the stronger. 98
In short, as can be seen from the opinions of a great many
historians and researchers, as well as from Hitler's writings and
speeches, Nazism drew strength and nourishment from
Darwinism and using allegedly scientific arguments, Hitler and
the other Nazi leaders sought to justify all their own psycho-
pathic cruelty. In fact, the cultural environment that encouraged
such an ideology also bore traces of Darwinism. As we shall see

in the following pages, the Social Darwinism
that entered Germany in the first half of the
20th century, thanks to fanatical Darwinists
like Ernst Haeckel, profoundly influenced
German society and constituted a most
important philosophical foundation for
Nazism's success.
